Here are the first 20 of my "Best Classical CD's."
Visitors who have arrived at this site via The Classical Music WebRing
click here to check out my Home page.

There are three links at the bottom of this page to my other choices.

These Classical CDs are the best of my collection and are included as the ones I am currently enjoying rather than being newly bought CDs. If you are wondering then why there isn't an extra column in the table below for my comments, it's because each cell would basically contain the same words - 'Great music, good recording, buy the disc!'

I've also used low quality scans of the covers to keep the page download size to a minimum.
